About this item

The SparkFun IR Thermometer Evaluation Board (SEN-10740) is a compact development platform designed for the MLX90614 infrared temperature sensor. This board integrates the MLX90614 sensor with an ATmega328 microcontroller running at 3.3V and equipped with an 8MHz STK500 Arduino bootloader. It supports communication via I²C and PWM interfaces, allowing for versatile integration into various projects. The evaluation board comes pre-programmed with example code that outputs temperature readings in Fahrenheit over a serial connection, facilitating quick testing and development. Additionally, it includes power and status LEDs for user feedback. This setup is ideal for applications such as non-contact temperature measurement, thermal monitoring, and integration into embedded systems.
